Over the last year or so, a colleague and his students have been creating a rooftop garden on the building below my office. It is part of a project in our happiness research centre, where eventually the vegetables being grown here will be used in the cafe downstairs and the scraps will be returned for compost; eventually there will be seats and shade and it will be open to us all to go there to eat lunch or just sit and ponder.
It is an exciting project and it has been great to watch it grow, literally, before my eyes.

Today was the first 'open day' for staff and students to come along and look at the progress up close. Even spotted a caterpillar among the strawberries and scored a little tomato. And it is true, it tasted different, not at all like its shop-bought cousin.
I'm looking forward to more visits to the roof.
